Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of pet comb technology, and in particular to a connector for a pet comb and a pet comb. Background Technology

[0002] As people's living standards improve, pets have gradually become important members of many families, and pet care is receiving increasing attention. Among these, grooming is an indispensable part of daily pet care.

[0003] Pet combs, as tools specifically designed for grooming pets, typically consist of a comb body with a horizontal mounting shaft extending outwards from which multiple comb teeth. On one hand, by holding the comb body and using the comb teeth to groom a pet's fur, the hair becomes smoother, improving its appearance and texture, keeping the pet clean and attractive. On the other hand, during grooming, the pet comb can promptly remove loose pet hair. This function is crucial. If shed pet hair adheres to various indoor objects such as furniture, clothing, and carpets, it not only affects indoor cleanliness, increasing cleaning difficulty and workload, but may also breed bacteria, mites, and other harmful microorganisms, posing a potential threat to the living environment and human health. Furthermore, shed hair attached to people can cause discomfort and affect daily life. In addition, promptly removing shed hair reduces the likelihood of pets ingesting it while licking themselves. Pets have a habit of licking their own fur. If they ingest too much shed fur, it can easily form hairballs in their stomachs, leading to health problems such as hairball syndrome, which can seriously affect the pet's health.

[0004] However, most pet combs on the market today have several shortcomings in design and function. These traditional pet combs typically have a simple structure and limited functionality, generally consisting of only a handle and comb teeth. In actual use, this simple structure leads to a significant amount of loose hair sticking to the comb when grooming a pet. Due to the lack of effective hair separation and cleaning design, the hair is often difficult to remove, requiring users to spend a lot of time and effort to clean it. This inconvenient operation not only reduces the efficiency of grooming but also increases the user's workload, creating problems for pet grooming.

[0005] Therefore, developing a pet comb that can effectively solve the above problems and improve the ease of use and hair cleaning efficiency of pet combs is of great practical significance. Utility Model Content

[0006] The purpose of this utility model is to overcome the shortcomings of the prior art and provide a fitting for a pet comb and a pet comb.

[0007] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0008] In a first aspect, this utility model provides a connector for a pet comb, comprising: the connector being movably connected to an external comb body mounting shaft, the connector having a plurality of running grooves, and the running grooves being configured corresponding to the comb teeth on the comb body; rotating the connector to make the running grooves and the comb teeth be in an open or closed state.

[0009] In one specific embodiment, the comb teeth have an arc-shaped tooth end at the end away from the mounting shaft; when the running groove and the comb teeth are in the open state, the arc-shaped tooth end extends out of the running groove, and the running groove is located on the side away from the arc-shaped tooth end.

[0010] In one specific embodiment, the socket further includes a sleeve portion located at the end of the running through groove, the sleeve portion being movably connected to the mounting shaft for mounting the socket to the outside of the mounting shaft.

[0011] In one specific embodiment, a connecting portion is formed at the connection between the comb body and the mounting shaft, and a relief portion corresponding to the connecting portion is provided in the middle section of the sleeve portion.

[0012] In one specific embodiment, a plurality of the running through slots extend to the side of the socket at one end near the mounting shaft to form a through slot opening.

[0013] In one specific embodiment, a connecting portion is formed at the connection between the comb body and the mounting shaft, and the running groove in the middle section of the sleeve is provided with a notch corresponding to the connecting portion.

[0014] In one specific embodiment, the socket includes a first part and a second part that are detachably connected to each other. The first part is provided with an upper clamping part, and the second part is provided with a lower clamping part. The upper clamping part and the lower clamping part are connected and closed to be sleeved on the outside of the mounting shaft. A connecting part is formed at the connection between the comb body and the mounting shaft. The middle sections of the upper clamping part and the lower clamping part are provided with opening grooves corresponding to the connecting part.

[0015] In one specific embodiment, the two ends of the socket are further provided with snap-fit ​​connectors, which are sleeved on the ends of the mounting shaft.

[0016] In one specific embodiment, the sleeve is further provided with a sleeve portion at the end of the running through groove, the sleeve portion is movably connected to the mounting shaft, and a connecting portion is formed at the connection between the comb body and the mounting shaft, and a relief portion corresponding to the connecting portion is provided in the middle section of the sleeve portion.

[0017] The advantages of this utility model's connector for a pet comb compared to existing technologies are as follows: When the connector is rotated to open the running groove and comb teeth, the comb teeth can fully extend out of the running groove, allowing them to penetrate deep into the pet's fur layer and effectively comb tangled and messy hair, making the pet's fur smoother and neater. Multiple comb teeth working simultaneously can quickly cover a large area of ​​fur, improving combing efficiency and saving time. After combing, rotating the connector closes the running groove and comb teeth. During this process, the connector moves along the comb teeth and peels the hair off them. Compared to traditional pet combs, users do not need to manually clean each hair from the comb teeth, greatly saving time and effort and achieving a fast and efficient hair cleaning effect. Furthermore, by integrating hair combing and hair cleaning functions into one unit, switching between the two functions can be achieved simply by rotating the connector, eliminating the need for additional specialized hair cleaning tools. This integrated design meets modern consumers' demands for product convenience and multifunctionality, enhancing the product's practicality and market competitiveness.

[0018] Secondly, this utility model embodiment provides a pet comb, including the sleeve for the pet comb as described above.

[0019] The advantages of this pet comb compared to existing technologies are as follows: By incorporating a connecting piece for the pet comb, when the connecting piece is rotated to open the running groove and comb teeth, the comb teeth can fully extend out of the running groove. At this time, the comb teeth can penetrate deep into the pet's fur layer, effectively combing tangled and messy fur, making the pet's fur smoother and neater. Multiple comb teeth working simultaneously can quickly cover a large area of ​​fur, improving combing efficiency and saving combing time. After combing, rotating the connecting piece closes the running groove and comb teeth. During this process... The connector moves along the comb teeth and removes the hair from them. Compared to traditional pet combs, users no longer need to manually clean each hair from the comb teeth, greatly saving time and effort and achieving a fast and efficient hair removal effect. In addition, by integrating hair combing and hair removal functions into one, the two functions can be switched by simply rotating the connector, eliminating the need for additional hair removal tools. This integrated design meets the needs of modern consumers for product convenience and multifunctionality, enhancing the product's practicality and market competitiveness.

Furthermore, the specific features, structures, materials, or characteristics described may be combined in any suitable manner in one or more embodiments or examples. In addition, those skilled in the art can combine and integrate the different embodiments or examples described in this specification.

[0041] See Figures 1 to 10 The specific embodiment shown in this utility model discloses a connector for a pet comb, comprising: the connector 20 being movably connected to the mounting shaft 11 of the outer comb body 10; the connector 20 having a plurality of running grooves 21, and the running grooves 21 being configured corresponding to the comb teeth 12 on the comb body 10; rotating the connector 20 to make the running grooves 21 and the comb teeth 12 be in an open or closed state.

[0042] Specifically, a running groove 21 corresponding to the comb teeth 12 is formed on the socket 20. The size and shape of the running groove 21 must match the comb teeth 12 to ensure that the comb teeth 12 can extend and retract smoothly within it, and to effectively retract the comb teeth 12 to remove hair during the closing process. The socket 20 and the comb body 10 can adopt common clearance fits to ensure that the socket 20 can rotate freely around the mounting shaft 11 without any obvious jamming or loosening during rotation.

[0043] When grooming a pet, the user holds the comb body 10 and gently rotates the connector 20, causing it to rotate relative to the mounting shaft 11. As the connector 20 rotates, the relative position of the running groove 21 and the comb teeth 12 changes. The comb teeth 12, originally contained within the connector 20, gradually extend out of the running groove 21. When the running groove 21 and the comb teeth 12 are fully open, the comb teeth 12 are fully exposed. At this point, the user can place the pet comb close to the pet's body and groom the pet's fur in a specific direction and sequence. During grooming, the user can adjust the pressure and speed of the grooming according to the actual condition of the pet's fur to effectively comb out tangled and messy fur, making the pet's fur smooth and tidy. After grooming the pet's fur, the user needs to clean the fur off the pet comb. At this time, the user rotates the connector 20 again in the opposite direction, causing the relative position of the running groove 21 and the comb teeth 12 to gradually change, and the comb teeth 12 begin to slowly retract into the running groove 21. During the process of storing the comb teeth 12, the fitting 20 will come into contact with and rub against the hair on the comb teeth 12. Due to the size limitation of the running groove 21 and the rotation of the fitting 20, the hair will be gradually detached from the comb teeth 12, adhering to the inside of the fitting 20 or falling off. When the running groove 21 and the comb teeth 12 are in a completely closed state, the comb teeth 12 are completely stored in the running groove 21. At this time, most of the hair has been cleaned off, and the pet comb is restored to a relatively clean state, making it convenient for the next use or storage.

[0044] In other words, the simultaneous action of multiple comb teeth 12 can quickly cover a large area of ​​fur, improving combing efficiency and saving combing time. The comb teeth 12 are stored and the fur is removed by rotating the connector 20, eliminating the need for users to manually clean each hair from the comb teeth 12, greatly saving time and effort. After combing, simply rotating the connector 20 completes most of the hair removal, making the entire process quick and convenient, improving the usability of the pet comb. Furthermore, during rotation, the inner wall of the connector 20 fully contacts and rubs against the hair on the comb teeth 12, effectively removing the hair from the comb teeth 12 for a more thorough cleaning. Compared to traditional cleaning methods, this reduces the possibility of hair residue, ensuring the cleanliness and hygiene of the pet comb, which is beneficial to the pet's health and the long-term use of the comb. In addition, by integrating the combing and cleaning functions into one unit, switching between the two functions can be achieved simply by rotating the connector 20, eliminating the need for additional hair removal tools. This integrated design meets the modern consumer demand for product convenience and multifunctionality, enhancing the product's practicality and market competitiveness. Furthermore, when the running groove 21 and the comb teeth 12 are in the closed state, the comb teeth 12 are stored inside the running groove 21. This design makes the overall structure of the pet comb more compact, making it easy to store and carry. Whether placed in a drawer or cabinet at home or carried while traveling, it will not take up too much space, and there will be no situation where the comb teeth 12 are exposed and damage other items or scratch the user.

[0045] In one embodiment, the comb teeth 12 have an arc-shaped tooth end 121 at the end away from the mounting shaft 11; when the running groove 21 and the comb teeth 12 are in the open state, the arc-shaped tooth end 121 extends out of the running groove 21, and the running groove 21 is located on the side away from the arc-shaped tooth end 121.

[0046] Specifically, the curved tip 121 design makes the contact surface between the comb teeth 12 and the pet's skin more rounded and smooth, avoiding the scratches and pricking that traditional pointed-tooth combs may cause to the pet's skin during grooming. Especially when grooming some sensitive areas or areas with thinner fur, such as the abdomen and inner legs, the curved tip 121 can gently pass through the fur without causing pain or discomfort to the pet, greatly improving the pet's comfort during grooming and reducing the likelihood of the pet resisting grooming due to fear of pain. In addition, the pet's body surface is not completely flat, but has certain curves and arcs. The curved tip 121 can better conform to the curves of the pet's body, moving flexibly with the body's undulations during grooming, ensuring that the fur in each area is evenly and effectively groomed, without causing excessive pressure or friction to the skin due to a mismatch between the comb teeth 12 and the body surface. Furthermore, the shape of the curved tip 121 allows the comb teeth 12 to more smoothly penetrate into the hair layer when grooming. Compared to straight-toothed tips, the curved-toothed tips 121 better disperse the resistance from the hair, reducing tangling and knots. This allows the combing action to be transmitted to the hair roots more easily, resulting in a more thorough combing of the pet's fur, making it smoother and neater. The curved surface design of the curved-toothed tips 121 increases the contact area between the comb teeth 12 and the hair. During combing, more hair can simultaneously contact the curved-toothed tips 121, improving combing efficiency and enabling a complete combing of the pet's fur in a shorter time. This is especially suitable for pet breeds with long, thick fur.

[0047] See Figures 1 to 2 In the first embodiment shown, the socket 20 further includes a socket portion 22 located at the end of the running through groove 21. The socket portion 22 is movably connected to the mounting shaft 11 and is used to install the socket 20 on the outside of the mounting shaft 11.

[0048] Specifically, when using a pet comb to groom a pet, the user holds the connecting part 22 of the connector 20 with their fingers and applies a certain force to rotate the connecting part 22. As the connecting part 22 rotates, the connector 20 rotates around the mounting shaft 11, and the relative position of the running groove 21 and the comb teeth 12 gradually changes. The comb teeth 12, which were originally covered by the connector 20, gradually protrude from the running groove 21. When rotated to a certain angle, the running groove 21 and the comb teeth 12 are fully open, and the comb teeth 12 are fully exposed. The user can then place the pet comb close to the pet's body to groom its fur. After grooming the pet's fur, when cleaning or storing the pet comb, the user holds the connecting part 22 again and rotates it in the opposite direction. The connector 20 then rotates in the opposite direction, and the relative position of the running groove 21 and the comb teeth 12 changes again. The comb teeth 12 begin to slowly retract into the running groove 21. When rotated to the point where the running groove 21 and the comb teeth 12 are completely closed, the comb teeth 12 are completely covered in the running groove 21. At this time, the pet comb can be properly stored away. Alternatively, during the closing process, the socket 20 will peel the hair off the comb teeth 12, thus cleaning the hair.

[0049] In other words, by concentrating the rotation operation on the socket 22, the user can more precisely control the force and angle of rotation. Compared to rotating the entire socket 20, the socket 22 is relatively smaller, allowing the fingers to apply force more effectively. This makes it easier to precisely switch the opening and closing states of the running groove 21 and the comb teeth 12, improving the accuracy and convenience of operation. Because the socket 22 is specifically designed for rotation, its structure can be optimized for rotation. For example, by rationally designing the shape and size of the socket 22, it can better utilize the lever principle during rotation, reducing the force required for rotation by the user. Even after prolonged use of the pet comb for grooming and cleaning, the user will not feel overly fatigued.

[0050] In one embodiment, a connecting portion 13 is formed at the connection between the comb body 10 and the mounting shaft 11, and a clearance portion 221 corresponding to the connecting portion 13 is provided in the middle section of the sleeve portion 22.

[0051] Specifically, when the user needs to rotate the socket 22 to adjust the state of the pet comb (such as opening or closing the running groove 21 and comb teeth 12), they hold the socket 22 with their hand and apply a certain force to rotate it. Because the relief part 221 and the connecting part 13 cooperate with each other, during the rotation, the connecting part 13 will always be located within the relief part 221 and will not obstruct the rotation of the socket 22, allowing the socket 22 to rotate freely and smoothly around the mounting shaft 11.

[0052] In other words, the design of the avoidance part 221 and the connecting part 13 fundamentally avoids the obstruction caused by the connecting part 13 when rotating the sleeve part 22. Without the avoidance part 221, the connecting part 13 would collide with other parts of the sleeve part 22, resulting in uneven rotation or even jamming. However, through this design, the sleeve part 22 can rotate around the mounting shaft 11 without any obstruction during rotation, greatly improving the smoothness of rotation and allowing users to adjust the pet comb's position more easily and quickly.

[0053] See Figures 3 to 4 In the second embodiment shown, a plurality of the running through slots 21 extend to the side of the sleeve 20 at one end near the mounting shaft 11 to form a through slot opening 212.

[0054] Specifically, the socket 20 has an opening at one end of the running groove 21 (i.e., groove opening 212), allowing the user to flexibly control the extension length and position of the comb teeth 12 by rotating the socket 20. For example, when combing fur of different lengths and densities, the extension of the comb teeth 12 can be adjusted according to the actual situation. For dense, long fur, the comb teeth 12 can be extended further to penetrate the fur layer for combing; for sparse, short fur, they can be extended shorter for gentle combing, improving the combing effect and quality. During the combing process, the user can rotate the socket 20 at any time to adjust the extension state of the comb teeth 12 in real time without stopping the combing action, greatly improving the continuity and smoothness of the combing. For example, if it is found that the fur in a certain part of the pet is not combed thoroughly, the socket 20 can be rotated immediately to allow the comb teeth 12 to extend again for supplementary combing. In addition, the end of the running groove 21 near the mounting shaft 11 is designed to be open (i.e., forming groove opening 212), mainly to accommodate larger comb teeth or pet combs with comb teeth on both sides.

[0055] In one embodiment, a connecting portion 13 is formed at the connection between the comb body 10 and the mounting shaft 11, and the running groove 21 in the middle section of the sleeve 20 is provided with a notch 211 corresponding to the connecting portion 13.

[0056] Specifically, due to the cooperation between the notch 211 and the connecting part 13, the connecting part 13 does not act as an obstruction, allowing the socket 20 to rotate more smoothly. Users do not need to apply excessive force to overcome any obstruction; simply rotating the socket 20 is sufficient to adjust the angle, making operation easier and more convenient. Furthermore, the cooperative design between the notch 211 and the connecting part 13 reduces wear between them. The connecting part 13 rotates within the notch 211, resulting in a relatively small contact area and even force distribution during rotation, reducing wear caused by friction. Compared to a design without this cooperation, this extends the product's lifespan.

[0057] See Figures 5 to 6 In the third embodiment shown, the sleeve 20 includes a first part 23 and a second part 24 that are detachably connected to each other. The first part 23 is provided with an upper clamping part 231, and the second part 24 is provided with a lower clamping part 241. The upper clamping part 231 and the lower clamping part 241 are connected and closed to be sleeved on the outside of the mounting shaft 11. A connecting part 13 is formed at the connection between the comb body 10 and the mounting shaft 11. The middle sections of the upper clamping part 231 and the lower clamping part 241 are provided with opening grooves 232 corresponding to the connecting part 13.

[0058] Specifically, the first part 23 and the second part 24 can be designed with identical structures, making them completely consistent in shape, size, and function, facilitating mass production and assembly. For example, both parts can be designed as semi-circular rings for easy installation from both sides of the mounting shaft 11. That is, an upper clamping part 231 and a lower clamping part 241 are designed on the first part 23 and the second part 24 respectively, and the upper clamping part 231 and the lower clamping part 241 have identical structures. The shape and size of the upper clamping part 231 should be designed to match the shape of the mounting shaft 11. If the mounting shaft 11 is cylindrical, the upper clamping part 231 can be designed as an arc-shaped structure that fits against the cylindrical surface. At the same time, the connection method between the upper clamping part 231 and the lower clamping part 241 and the first part 23 and the second part 24 should be determined, such as integral molding or welding. In addition, an opening groove 232 corresponding to the connecting part 13 is designed in the middle section of the upper clamping part 231. The shape of the opening groove 232 should be adapted to the shape of the connecting part 13. The size of the opening groove 232 should be slightly larger than the size of the connecting part 13 to ensure that the connecting part 13 can smoothly enter the opening groove 232 and that excessive friction will not occur when rotating the sleeve 20.

[0059] In other words, the socket 20 consists of a first part 23 and a second part 24 with identical structures. This split design simplifies the assembly process. During assembly, simply slip the first part 23 and the second part 24 onto the upper and lower sides of the mounting shaft 11 respectively, and then combine them; no complicated operations or specialized tools are required. Compared to a one-piece socket 20, this significantly improves assembly efficiency and reduces production costs. Furthermore, due to the cooperation between the opening slot 232 and the connecting part 13, the connecting part 13 does not obstruct movement, allowing the socket 20 to rotate more smoothly. Users do not need to apply excessive force to overcome any obstruction; simply rotating the socket 20 gently is sufficient, making operation easier and more convenient.

[0060] See Figures 7 to 8 In the fourth embodiment shown, the two ends of the sleeve 20 are also provided with snap-fit ​​connectors 25, which are sleeved on the ends of the mounting shaft 11.

[0061] Specifically, the shape of the snap-fit ​​connector 25 must match the shape of the end of the mounting shaft 11. If the end of the mounting shaft 11 is circular, the snap-fit ​​connector 25 can be designed as an annular ring with a circular hole inside that matches the outer diameter of the mounting shaft 11, ensuring that the snap-fit ​​connector 25 can smoothly fit onto the mounting shaft 11 and rotate. Simultaneously, for ease of installation and disassembly, an opening can be designed on one side of the annular ring, with a snap-fit ​​or elastic structure at the opening, allowing the snap-fit ​​connector 25 to easily snap onto the mounting shaft 11.

[0062] In other words, the snap-fit ​​connector 25 is fitted onto the end of the mounting shaft 11, providing a secure connection for the sleeve 20. When the snap-fit ​​connector 25 is rotated, the friction between it and the mounting shaft 11, along with the snap-fit ​​structure, ensures that the snap-fit ​​connector 25 will not easily loosen or fall off, guaranteeing stable switching between the running groove 21 and the comb teeth 12. Even under significant external force, the snap-fit ​​connector 25 maintains a firm connection with the mounting shaft 11, improving the overall structural stability of the pet comb.

[0063] See Figure 2 , Figures 9 to 10 In the fifth embodiment shown, similar to the first embodiment, the sleeve 20 is provided with a sleeve portion 22 at the end of the running through groove 21. The sleeve portion 22 is movably connected to the mounting shaft 11, and a connecting portion 13 is formed at the connection between the comb body 10 and the mounting shaft 11. The middle section of the sleeve portion 22 is provided with a relief portion 221 corresponding to the connecting portion 13.

[0064] Specifically, the design of the avoidance part 221 and the connecting part 13 fundamentally avoids the obstruction caused by the connecting part 13 when rotating the sleeve part 22. Without the avoidance part 221, the connecting part 13 would collide with other parts of the sleeve part 22, resulting in uneven rotation or even jamming. However, through this design, the sleeve part 22 can rotate around the mounting shaft 11 without any obstruction during rotation, greatly improving the smoothness of rotation and allowing users to adjust the pet comb's position more easily and quickly.

[0065] In one embodiment, the comb body 10, the mounting shaft 11, and the comb teeth 12 are integrally formed.

[0066] Specifically, the comb body 10, mounting shaft 11, and comb teeth 12 are integrally molded structures, with no connecting gaps or weak points between the parts, forming a continuous whole. This integral molding structure can better distribute stress, preventing stress concentration in any one area under external force, thus improving the overall fracture resistance of the pet comb. At the same time, the integral molding design also makes the connection between the comb teeth 12 and the mounting shaft 11 and comb body 10 more secure, reducing the possibility of the comb teeth 12 loosening or falling off due to frequent use. Furthermore, the overall structure's wear resistance is improved, enabling it to withstand long-term friction and wear, extending the pet comb's lifespan.

[0067] In one embodiment, both the comb body 10 and the socket 20 are made of plastic or metal.

[0068] Specifically, the plastic comb body 10 and connector 20 are lightweight, preventing excessive fatigue for users when combing their pets' fur for extended periods, making them especially suitable for scenarios requiring frequent use of the pet comb. Furthermore, plastic raw materials are relatively inexpensive, and the molding process is simple and efficient, reducing manufacturing costs and making the product more price-competitive in the market.

[0069] Metal materials possess high strength and hardness, allowing the comb body 10 and connector 20 to withstand significant external forces and resist damage, making them suitable for long-term use and frequent grooming of pets. Furthermore, the glossy appearance and premium feel of metal enhance the overall quality of the pet comb, satisfying some users' demands for high-quality products.

[0070] This utility model also discloses a pet comb, including the sleeve for the pet comb as described above.

[0071] Specifically, by incorporating a connector for the pet comb, when the connector is rotated to open the running channel and comb teeth, the comb teeth can fully extend out of the running channel. At this time, the comb teeth can penetrate deep into the pet's fur layer, effectively combing tangled and messy fur, making the pet's fur smoother and neater. The simultaneous action of multiple comb teeth can quickly cover a large area of ​​fur, improving the efficiency of hair combing and saving combing time. After combing, rotating the connector closes the running channel and comb teeth. During this process, the connector moves along the comb teeth and peels the hair off the comb teeth. Compared with traditional pet combs, users do not need to manually clean the hair off the comb teeth one by one, greatly saving cleaning time and effort, and achieving a fast and efficient hair cleaning effect. In addition, by integrating the hair combing and hair cleaning functions into one unit, the two functions can be switched by simply rotating the connector, without the need for additional special hair cleaning tools. This integrated design meets the needs of modern consumers for product convenience and multifunctionality, enhancing the product's practicality and market competitiveness.

[0072] The above embodiments are preferred implementations of this utility model. In addition, this utility model can also be implemented in other ways. Any obvious substitutions without departing from the concept of this technical solution are within the protection scope of this utility model.
